I never have margarine or shortening in the house so I personally look for recipes that call for butter and not a combination of both or just shortening. And it does work better if you chill it like all the recipes say (yes, I tend to take short cuts in the kitchen but I'm learning to let the pie crust dough chill for a bit before making it into pie).<br /><br />I can't find the recipe I just used but I'm pretty sure it was 1 c. flour, 1/4 cup butter, a little salt (I don't usually measure salt in my dough, just give it a good pinch), and 3 to 5 TBL. of ice water for one pie crust (I doubled it to make the top and bottom of the pot pie). Both crusts were a little thick so this recipe is a strange ratio and I had some to spare so that the edges ended up great (in other words I wasn't short on crust at the edges which is a problem I run into a lot).rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-29004199806085728482016-01-22T20:58:33.425-05:002016-01-22T20:58:33.425-05:00Sounds amazing - nice work!

I bought the bag of whole flax seed on sale and THEN I read that the ground flax seed are a billion times better. Oh well, I've just been putting whole flax seed in practically everything I make.<br /><br />Luckily the bug factor doesn't gross me out at all but they sure do look like bugs. I spilled a few seeds on the floor in front of the fridge and I seriously thought for a second that we had an infestation. Also with the pie, I cut it open and though, "ew, it looks like it's filled with bugs." Haha!rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-31386635228587149212016-01-22T04:39:41.618-05:002016-01-22T04:39:41.618-05:00"No one needs to see that" :))) funny

They look too much like bugs in there. It's too bad because they're tasty and healthy, but not worth the ick factor for me. I've read that they should be ground before being eaten anyway, or we can't really digest them, so maybe I'll try this.Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-91303901140919584062016-01-21T14:45:51.919-05:002016-01-21T14:45:51.919-05:00I came REALLY really close to doing this one potat...I came REALLY really close to doing this one potato topped instead of with crust but apart from french fries little Abe is NOT a fan of potatoes (he didn't know I'd diced one up really small and put it in the pie filling). So I opted for crust this time figuring he'd be more likely to eat it that way.<br /><br />Sam, I love a stew with homemade biscuits on the side!!! That's another one of the dishes that I feel really proud of when it's done.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-38410838355549993312016-01-21T14:43:23.342-05:002016-01-21T14:43:23.342-05:00Thanks!
